Always great food and the waitresses were very friendly. Chinta Kechil is one of our favourite restaurants. Recommend the Char Kway chao, Okra, chicken curry and beef rendang.

Great food and service and very quick if you are in a hurry. Corkage is $4 per person which isn't bad if you want to bring a good wine.

I remember when the restaurant had a tropical garden outlook so was disappointed this had been removed. However service and food still good and very well priced. Great place if you want low key and easy to talk in Double Bay

I had Chinta Kechil recommended and went with friends to try it out. The major issue I had was the food was over cooked and for a couple of dishes the protein was dry. Order included a fish dish and chicken dish and both came to the table dry and chewy. The beef rendang was good the calamari was OK. I will try again as I am assured the meals can be good.

I grew up in Singapore so this is my home away from home. In particular we like the Char Kway Teow, Beef Rendang and the Okra. On this occasion the Roti were a little too over cooked but it won't stop us going back over and over again!

Excellent food and service, very reasonable prices. Obviously a popular restaurant, every table occupied which is a good indication of rating by the local population. BYO which makes it easy to match the food with a wine of your choice.

The service was exceptional as was the food. The prawn dumplings definitely a winner as was the shredded beef. Great flavours and friendly, helpful staff. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy nothing was too much trouble.

The food was sensational and the service was spot on. The only reason I didn't offer a 6 was the table next to us sat the most rude and disrespectful bunch of young and ignorant morons, talking so loud and on their mobile devices, absolutely no table manners. I realise this is not the fault of Chinta Kechil staff however, maybe they could have asked them to consider other diners and keep it down a bit.

Great atmosphere with forest printed drapes and wooden floor boards. Homey style food, casual but delicious. Make sure you visit early in the evening, they get quite busy.

If you're familiar with the Chintia Ria restaurant that used to be in Darling Harbour, then this is the place for you. The service was friendly, the food came out fast and if you remember the place in Darling Harbour, the cuisine is excellent. One of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. My only negative comment would be the size of the place (I've got a family of 6) and the difficulty I had making a booking. Please check it out if you want good food with fast and friendly service, you'll walk away with the same smile I have every time I dine there!
